______________________________________________________________________________

Announcement ID:    SUSE-SU-2013:1967-1
Rating:             important
References:         #843835 
Affected Products:
                    SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11 SP3

______________________________________________________________________________

   An update that contains security fixes can now be
   installed. It includes one version update.

Description:


   Adobe has discontinued the support of Adobe Reader for
   Linux in June 2013.

   Newer security problems and bugs are no longer fixed.

   As the Adobe Reader is binary only software and we cannot
   provide a  replacement, SUSE declares the acroread package
   of Adobe Reader as being  out of support and unmaintained.

   If you do not need Acrobat Reader, we recommend to
   uninstall the "acroread"  package.

   This update removes the Acrobat Reader PDF plugin to avoid
   automatic  exploitation by clicking on web pages with
   embedded PDFs.

   The stand alone "acroread" binary is still available, but
   again, we do not  recommend to use it.

Indications:

   For all Acrobat Reader users.
